In the beginning someone, somehow, someway figured out that with a piece of string and a couple of sticks,
a piece of cloth could be made that would someday send a specific section of the worlds population
into a FiberComa and Knitting Stuff Addiction.
Most everyone knows what Yarn is, so I won't go into the specifics of how it came to be or the
in's and out's of getting it from Sheep to Shop!
I'll just get right to the Fiber Coma and Addiction part of being a Knitter and YarnAHolic!
Yarn is kinda like Potato Chips! One is never enough!
A well rounded Yarn Stash should have the following:
- 2 or 3 skeins...4 would be better...of every color of yarn known to woman kind.
- a variety of weights like Fingering, DK, Sport, Sock, Worsted in basic color palette and then some zingers.
- one can't use 100% Wool on everything, so gotta have silk blends, acrylics, cottons and whatever else is the latest in the world of YarnArama!
There's more, but I think you get the picture.
The worst of it is I haven't even begun to touch on the horrible side effects of having a YarnARama Stash!
The Tools, Gadgets, Bags, Books and Stuff!
The thing is, I never intended for this Yarn Thingie to get to the Coma and Addiction Stage!
It's not like I haven't been there before!
Before I became a Yarn Junkie, I was a Quilt/FabricAHolic!
I was the Queen of QuiteALot of Everything Quilty!
Some might say I still am, however after lots of
Fabric DeTox and ReFocus Therapy that Stash is what I call Busted!
Now I am ReFocused on managing my YarnARama!
I have it down to One Knitting Blog
